vacation script not working

vacation script not working

[S. Alan Eissfeldt]

Hi all,
I'm using RH 6.2 with Sendmail 8.11.6.

I am trying to get the vacation script to run, and it does not appear 
to be working. I have used this before, but I have since upgraded the 
version of sendmail and also recently downloaded  and installed a newer 
version of the vacation script, but it is still not working properly.

The vacation script is supposed to insert whatever is in the file 
~home/.vacation.msg into a reply to the sender.

However, the problem is that a blank subject and body are sent as the 
reply. the vacation script seems to be working, but it does not appear 
to be using the .vacation.msg that I authored for this purpose.

Any suggestions? Ideas? Is it possible to make the vacation script use 
a different file beside .vacation.msg ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
-S. Alan

I found a man page on the web that said I might be able to use the -m 
switch and put the path to another file there. That didn't seem to work.

I'm still all ears, if anyone else has any more suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
-S. Alan
